This is one way to test Take The Wheels! working on a Steam Deck! On a plane at 39,000ft! Worked like a charm! (with low shadows for 60fps). Had 18hrs on this flight so figured I may as well. #screenshotsaturday #steamdeck #gaming #racinggames #indiegamedev #indiegames

The difference adding a far more visible path has to a track makes a huge difference! Also, 1 week away from the Take The Wheels! reveal trailer!!! #ScreenshotSaturday #indiegame #indiedev #UnrealEngine #UE5

Quick update on Take The Wheels!, and what better way to do that than by taking part in @theindiebrew.com.au's "ANZ Indie Showcase Summer Edition" showcase! What will be shown with Take The Wheels? Well... how does a reveal trailer sound? That's big right? And an interview as well?

Took part in a playtest event last weekend which was the first time in ~2 years that split-screen was playtested! Overall it went really well! People really liked being able to race against their friends. Only drawback was performance, but that'll be worked on over time! #UE5 #Racinggames #indiedev

Time to show off another powerup in Take The Wheels! The shield powerup is handy, allowing you to remain unaffected by powerups from other players! This powerup is only in the full game, however, there is still plenty to do in the demo! Play the demo today! #racinggames #indiegames #ue5 #indiedev

Alright, time to show off some of the powerups in Take The Wheels! First up, we have the boost powerup! Works how you think it does. Increases top speed, acceleration. However, it also increases your grip! Give it a try in the demo on Steam! steampowered.com/app/2135650/ #racinggame #indiegames

Misdirection Studios @misdirectstudio.bsky.social · 27/10/2024

Haha exactly! But going on the roads keeps your car going at full speed, as going off-road will slow you down. However, the boost powerup does counter it!

Misdirection Studios @misdirectstudio.bsky.social · 27/10/2024

Ooo! I like your thinking! I've got loads of ideas either implemented or planned for the game so far and there are skills in the form of powerups. Did originally have the car go underwater, but people found it odd that a hovercar wouldn't just hover over it! So I changed it based on that feedback.
